The City of Englewood Colorado Library Board held a meeting on June 18, 2026, focusing primarily on library operations, patron engagement, and upcoming system migrations. Key procurement-related discussions included the planned closure on August 3rd to accommodate Marmot's server migration and the transition from the Sierra Integrated Library System (ILS) to the Folio system, with hopes to modernize library technology. The board also discussed challenges in purchasing e-books, noting delays with their primary vendor Ingram and exploring additional vendor relationships with Follett and Libreria to improve processing and cataloging efficiency. Budget discussions indicated a flat budget for 2027, with strategic reallocations planned to support collection services and staffing needs.
